In the early 1920s, this area was known by the locals as Dyersville and was run by Joe and Mary Dyer. It is east of Dahlonega, Georgia but is on the map as Garland. It has been run by many though the years and a favorite stop on the way in and out of Dahlonega, Georgia.
Thank you so much, Janis. I will add this information.
My mother-in-law Monteen Abercrombie Souther when young would take eggs to Joe Dyer’s store and swap for other things. My great great grandfather David Adams and his wife Mary is buried in the cemetery and several family members.

Jessie- Was this by chance Mr. Dyer’s Store? I would love to identify it.
Yes. On map as Garland. Building still there.
Yes, it belonged to Joseph Dyer. It was also a post office at one time besides the merchandise and gas pump.
